Here's a quick EHB 1337 summary I made.

I do not have any 1 BR STRs/MTRs but I have seen annual STR rents based on bedroom count in both my market (San Diego) and emerald coast (one of the markets I have made offers) and the difference in the income is substantial between 2 BR and 1 BR.  

Sound money decisions, planning, eliminating wasteful spending, and having a team are all critical aspects needing attention when you’ve made the decision it’s time to expand your financial horizons. 

@Jake Posnerstrongly recommend looking closer to home - OOS investing is more difficult than it's made out to be. andwith rates where they are, there's just about no cash flow right now unless you employ a creative strategy or a combination of creative strategies.if you just buy any old property in any old market, you're not going to cash flow.

You obviously made a profit, hence the tax bill.

I understand residential financing, buying & selling, but I often hear there is more money to be made in commercial, but don't understand much.Should one start by finding a commercial lender first?

We took them as Fixer-uppers and made them liveable to raise the Rents and try to make $100 a month in positive Cash Flow.

Ordering now!

However, i need good funding partners to push ahead in order to take calculated risks.  

CapEx refers to significant investments made to maintain, improve, or upgrade a property over its lifespan.
